So every time you level, you are going to have a rath ex experience, i.e. it taking forever to fill, it disbanding due to wipes a lot, and maybe clearing after a full lockout if lucky.

I think you guys assume that hard means "still can beat in a single pull, but i don't fall asleep doing it." The idea that this content might actually be difficult to many people slips by you.
I think you missed the "progressively harder" part. Shinryu is actually a good example of the devs doing this. It's harder than content before it, but not so hard that people can't clear it. It encourages players to get better to be able to clear it. Thordan is a good example of the devs not doing it. That fight is a complete joke. Is it even possible to fail it?
